Road trips just got a whole lot greener. Thrifty is thrilled to add electric vehicles to its fleet, giving customers a sustainable option for their next car rental.
Founded on performance and power, the Polestar brand's racing origins shine through in the new all-electric Polestar 2. With a simple-yet-unique design, all-wheel drive and the horsepower to kickstart any trip, the Polestar 2 is ready to be your next rental car.
Not your Everyday cars, Tesla's Model Y and Model 3 provide sleek and aerodynamic drives, standing out as top performers among gas-powered and electric cars alike. City or country, business or leisure, Tesla's Model Y and Model 3 are ready for your next adventure.
Recharging an EV is just like filling up with petrol, but rather than inserting a nozzle at a petrol station, you insert a connector at a charging station. Use the following steps to charge your EV:
Depending on the vehicle model, you can open the charge port cover via the touchscreen or by pushing on the cover
Remove charging station connector from dock and insert into the car’s charge port. While charging, the charge port logo will flash green.
The touchscreen will inform you of charge percentage and estimated time remaining. To optimize battery performance, your rental car will charge to 90%.
When complete, for most EV’s, push the connector button to stop charging (for Polestars, press the button next to the charging socket), then remove the cable and return to the charging station.
Note: While Teslas are compatible with all EV charging stations, an adapter is required when using non-Tesla stations. Each of our Tesla rentals comes equipped with a Mobile Connector kit which includes the adapter. After using the adapter, always be sure to remove it from the charging station connector and return it to the Mobile Connector kit.
